Remove 'sharer' to produce an anagram of a brand of tea.

Thanks, all! I'm still stuck on 43a, though. Can't see the anagram...

43 Tetley, tea company. Take 'sharer' out of 'harley street' and anagram.

Sorry, Buenchico, I hadn't noticed your instruction at the start of this thread - and I don't know why Matakari still struggled after that!

Matakari, did you get your tea sorted?

PS There's an extremely Matakari-friendly Chalicea puzzle on the Crossword Centre. The 'extra letter' stuff isn't too tricky, too necessary.
